Reading the threads around here got me interested in revolvers - I succumbed to a little 640 pre-lock, 38 SPL only.
The problem is that after cleaning it up, it's just a little bit too tight - takes a moderate shove when opening the cylinder. It only happens some of the time. It took me forever to notice that the ejector rod has a teensy bit of what I think is called "runout". I wasn't noticable until I got the thing all slicked up to where the open cylinder would "spin" for a couple seconds.
It's only a minor annoyance. And may or may not have anything to do with the less than laser straight ejector.
Should I just suck it up or get if fixed? I can't tell if it affects any other function - DAO with a 2" barrel isn't a backdrop against which I could perceive minor accuracy problems - it seems to shoot fine and actually has a surprisingly smooth trigger.
